Prettige feite

1

Its full scientific name has 37 letters, making it the longest dinosaur name of all.2

2

It was only about 1 metre long, smaller than many modern dogs.2

3

It walked on two legs, like many other small herbivorous dinosaurs.2

4

The first fossil was found on a cliff near a train station called Hongtuyan.2

5

It lived alongside other dinosaurs like the armoured Pinacosaurus and the duck-billed Tanius.2

6

Scientists are not sure if it was a pachycephalosaur or a ceratopsian, because its skull roof was missing from the fossil.2

Its name means 'tiny thick-headed lizard', and it has 23 letters in the genus name alone, making it the longest dinosaur name.21

?Did Micropachycephalosaurus have a thick skull?

Scientists are not sure, because the skull roof was missing from the fossil. It was originally thought to be a pachycephalosaur with a thick skull, but later studies disagree.2
